Hmmm, power brokers using COVID to extend their control over society. Sounds very conspiratorial. Also, where exactly did Klaus recommend that technocrats and politicians use COVID to seize more power? Forgive my bluntness, but this sounds like a slanted interpretation of what the book says.

Especially alongside your comments on COVID and media lies. These were fertile ground for conspiracy theorists who exploited people's frustration and anger over the economic impact of the pandemic. And they found a "golden opportunity" there to spread very harmful information.
